Open source doesn't really help here, because even if I can see the source I don't have a way to verify what was running. It's more important to just not rely on software for the critical path, and make sure there's an

True, but remember that the initial question is about how much they pay SWE. I'd expect that the pay for contractors in e.g. the kitchen isn't subject to the same competitive forces, and won't move up as the company becomes

Major US tech companies earn a profit-per-employee of $200-400k[0]. That's across every employee, so depending on how you attribute value the profit-per-SWE is much higher. That gives a lot of headroom to drive up salaries when compe

I see their comments like normal, is there something that controls this?

Z3 had a timer to stop the solve if it takes to long and that used a specific option of clock_gettime that wasn't supported. I hacked around this and it otherwise worked fine.

I tried to build two projects in WSL1, one using the Z3 theorem prover, and one using Chrome for scraping. Both ran into kernel issues. So for me it failed about 100% of the time on anything non-trivial.

It probably depends a lot on your specific use patterns, but I expect for most people this was a change that basically fixed a bunch of bugs, introduced negligible new issues, and had an identical interface.

Was that incorrect somehow? WSL2 fixed a ton of issues for me.

I ran into this same issue with GCP while using the boot disk for some caches. In this case the grace period is a few minutes before they throttle. It was quite a pain to track down.

I wonder if this will be a "Reflections on Trusting Trust" situation; it's easy to spot malicious code in source control, but if your build machine was compromised to insert malicious code at compile time that would be easy t

Sure, that makes sense. I was responding to the grandparent post which argued for no accounts at all.

The Quest is a game console. How would you get content on it without an account? e.g, you can't buy an online PS4 game without an account.

Growth isn't necessary to make something a good investment. Imagine you are investing in a single mortgage: you get a little income each month, and after 30 years it stops completely. Essentially the value goes to zero! But the strea

In a lot of these systems (at least VMWare back when I used that, and Docker) you can clone an existing image with copy-on-write. This is a lot faster and would avoid 20GB of writes to spin up a new VM.

Kaiser spent $4 billion on implementing an EMR with Epic, after abandoning their own project developed with IBM. Imagine if that kind of investment was directed towards a open source consortium. I realize these kinds of projects are incre

Sure, but the point is that there's a necessary kernel component to provide access control, mediate between different users, abstract across different hardware, etc. I don't know exactly what's in this patch set, but in gene

I think this is different than server push like WebSockets; this is all about pushing down resources the server suspects you'll need.

The data CA used wasn't collected by them. They got it from a research project at Cambridge University's Psychometrics Center. This is exactly the same situation.

I turned 40 this year. That brought a significant shift in how I think about spending time; I'm much more aware that there are a finite number of books I'll read, programs I'll write, stories told to children etc This mindse
